To @ZZ `whom it may concern."

Be it known that we, WILLIAM LUITJEN VANDEEGooT and NELs PETER JoNAsoN FOLEN, citizens of the United States, and

' residents of Portland, in the county of lNIult-A nomah and State of Oregon, vhave invented a new and Im roved Bottle, of which the fol-A.

l tion, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a central vertical Iection through a portion of a bottle embodying one form of our invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the bottle inclined for delivery. Fig. 3 is a'horizontal sectional detail on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fio. 4 is a longitudinal section showing a modred construction for the mechanism of the bottle.

We have here illustrated a bottle 10, having a neck 11, adapted to receive a cork 12. Closely fittin the neck of the bottle is a sleeve 13, pre erably beginning at a point below the cork and extending to the body of the bottle. The lower extremity of this sleeve rests against an annular shoulder 11a, formed on the inner side of the neck, as shown. In the lower extremity of the sleeve recesses 14 are formed, in which springs 1'5 are fixed `at one-end and have their opposite ends projecting upwardly out-side the recesses forengagement with re istering recesses 16, formed in the bottle. T e sleeve extends inwardly at 17, and from this extension rises a tubular portion 18, preferably concentric with the sleeveand furnishing a seat. At the outer endofthis tubular ortion is an inwardly-extending iiange 19, tting within a circumferential groove along the seat proper, which is furnished by a ring 20. This ring also serves as a support for a valve21, which is hinged to it at 22. Projecting from the ring adjacent to the hinge is a weight 23, and as the rino` is free to turn upon the portion 18 this holds the hinge at the under side when the bottle is inclined from, the vertical. The valve is buoyant, this being conveniently attained by making it hollow and of some thin metal. The `material ofthe valve, as well as the other parts -of the ap aratus, which are also, preferably, of meta or glass, is suchV as to resist corrosion. Aluminium is desirable for `this purpose. Outside the valve, extending from the sleeve, are oppositely arranged bafHeplates 24, there being three of these illustrated in the present instance, they having their ends extending by one another and while -permitting the free flow of liquid prevent the introduction of an instrument for the purpose of tampering with the valve.

Pivoted upon the inner side of the valve at 24a, preferably at its center, is a section 25 of acontrol-ling-rod, having at its opposite end a head or enlargement 26. This rod-section passes through an eye 27 in a second controlling-rod section 28, which has adjacent to the eye andhead 26 an outwardly-bent portion or extension 29, leaving ample room for the head when the rod-sections move relatively to one. another. The second section 28 passes through a tubular member or carrier 30, preferably arranged axially of the bottle and supported by brackets 31, extending from it to the portion 17 of the sleeve.

Rotatable about the carrier-tube are collars 32and 33, the first of which has projecting from it a bracket 34, while the other has fixed to it a guide-rod 35, extending therefrom to the outer end of the bracket in a direction inclined `to the carrier. Movable longitudinally of the guide-rod is a weight 36, which by virtue of the freedom of the collars to turn about the carrier maintains itself and its associated elements in a downward position or in the same plane as the valve-wei ht 23 when the lbottle-is inclined. kDe ending from the weight 36 is an arm 37, whicli passes has below said bracket an an 39, provided at its ends with the fork 40. This fork embraces the rod-section 28, adjacent to a head or enlargement 41 upon its lower extremity, the fork and thehead being.

through an opening 38 inthe bracket 34 .and

frular extension ICO it againstdisplfaceinent. Asth-e bottle-is-inverted the valve Will remain in cooperation with its seat until the gu-ide-rod is do'vvn- Wardly inclined to some angle belovsr thelnorizontal. The Weight 36 may then shift along this rod, carrying the fork away from the head 41. This Jfrees the controlling-rod and the valve opens under the pressure ofthe containedI liquid, permitting its discharge. It

should be noted that immediately upon ping the bottle both the Weight 36 and the said valve being `'ccninteracted by thel Weight 36", acting'upon the `head 4 1`- ofthe `cor-itrollingrod. The valve is 'thus governed' 'by the weight until the guideerod passes- 'tlie horizontal. At this time, theweight having slid along the rod, its fork isfWithou-t eitect upon the controlling-rod", but ii oneatternptsto forceliquid upwardly into theneck the walve rises with it and closes the opening. More'- over, as vthe air Within the ybottle must be Withdrawn to permit the liquid to enter atmospheric pressure itself will] promptly seat the valve.

The invention may take `the iiorm shown in Fig. 4L, in 'which a vflexible threadlorcordl'is substituted lforth-e controlling-ro d' 'of thef'rst form. This cord` is attached at its loWer directly 'to 'the extension. v91. Evidently With this cord-connection -lcading'to valve '21 substantially the same mode of `operation as beforewill result. Theiiu-'id fleavesfthebo'ttle when the latter is held at an inclinethe air passes out, the valvewouldnotfcl'ose unless lifted a vert-ical direction. The nid of `course retains its level., and when the valve leans that is, When it is` inclined' from the verticall-it will acquire more buoyancy and when vfloating close before the iiuid' can enter the tubular portion 18, as it cornes sooner in Contact with the fluid.
